The family of avid snake lovers have kept a number of different reptiles over the years - from milk snakes to king snakes and even a 32-year-old ball python - but have seen none with D*ckhead's very special pattern.

D*ckhead may make an appearance on Craig's Facebook page, which is filled with videos of him gaming (often with a snake around his neck). Picture: Facebook – XtremeSnake Gaming.

Craig, a reptile enthusiast from South Carolina, told UNILAD his dad obliviously picked D*ckhead up from a reptile expo over the weekend.

"I don't even think my father noticed the suggestive marking on the snake's head until after my mum pointed it out," he said.
